[kj] Pitchfork's 500 Most Important Songs since 1977

[Bette Dillinger]

Wha, I, had......no......idea.  *Gotta sit down*  I thought you were related due to your great
adoration of her genius, especially her masterpiece, "Horses".  Can you forward her a Valentine if
I mail it to you?
My Gawd, I would think you were from New York City for a minute based on the extremity of your
opinion....

Patti Smith is, was and e'er shall be...... COMPLETE SHIT. I am ashamed to share a last name with her.

I hope they have Haircut 100 in there and Heaven 17!   Oh no, they have Patti Smith on the list too, Alex.  Is steam coming out of your ears? ;))))))

Case in point:

This gets a mention:

Daryl Hall & John Oates – "I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)"

But Killing Joke does not?

I rest my case. It's meaningless.

Ultimately, it's meaningless. Fleetingly curious reading, but meaningless.
